I was down in Louisiana: doing as I please
Now I’m in Texas: I got to work or leave
If your home in Louisiana: what you doing over here
Said my home ain’t in Texas: and I sure don’t care
I don’t care: if the boat don’t never land
I’d like to stay on the water: as long as any man
And my boat come a‑rocking: just like a drunken man
And my home’s on the water: and I sure don’t like land
